Ostrich and rhea eggs are glossy as are a few others. These rhea eggs are what is called 2nd's. Meaning the surface is discolored or flawed in some way. I have a ostrich egg that is pretty much perfect and very large. I've had it for years and just can't bring myself to cut it. I estamate that it's worth close to $40-$50 as is. You can get 2nd's for as low as $10-$15 that have imperfections that make it one you would want to carve or engrave. Most run around $20 - $25. I'll know more after Saturday. The Dallas Egg Show is this weekend. There will be people from Japan and the UK. Maybe one or two from Central and South America.
